A influência da tradição semântica analítica na filosofia de Frege

In: Griot: Revista de Filosofia, Band 18, Heft 2, S. 325-337

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to try to clarify the origins and philosophical importance of the concept of objective logical validity in Frege's thinking. Our argument will try to locate Frege's philosophy within an analytic semantic tradition that arises in the nineteenth century through the thinking of Bolzano and Lotze and which is also characterized by antinaturalism, antipsychologism and by the belief in an a priori objectivity as a characteristic of logically valid units, but not real. The article will identify common points between the philosophy of these three thinkers, but above all, we want to seek in the philosophies of Bolzano and Lotze the roots to understand the distinction between the three kingdoms and the Platonic semanticism present in Frege's philosophy.
